The little black dress will always be an item of reliability when we don’t know what to where to a cocktail or Christmas party.  In fact, unlike the ever changing fashion industry, the concept of the little black dress has remained the same throughout the years.  So what more is there to say about it?  Well, this season has taken the LBD to another more chic level by adding layers of textures to the standard designs.  Frocks for the festive season feature layers of beads, sequins and ribbons; simple details and no colour to create the dramatic, chic finish.
